Getting in to graduate school while an adult, with not great grades in undergrad?

Question

I have been out of school for many years, thinking of going back (some regret is setting in) but I did not have stellar grades to begin with, how can I pull this off???

Answer 1

I know someone who is in similar shoes as you are in right now.  Besides the studying part, graduate schools are really strict and many rules.  Some schools will not let you waive certain courses if you studied more than 5 years ago.  The tuition is getting higher for schools.  if you did not take the GMAT (Business School Entrance Exam)within 5 years, you have to take it again.  But, your advantage can be your experience of work.  Only if you are going to study in the area of your working experience.  That can be a huge plus for you to get into a graduate school.  If you did not have good grades, a school might allow you to take it over while maintaining a B average at the least.  I have seen many people pull it off.  I think it will be worth it going back to graduate school.  Good luck to you!
